Lea Grange, WA9

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Dog mess and builders’ rubbish everywhere. Grounds not maintained. Pot holes in roads. Builders and contractors constantly block roads and drive and no consideration for residents.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Poor build quality wasn’t ready or worth money

What is the best feature of your home:

garden (even though it kept flooding and didn’t have turf when moved in as promised).

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Easy access to local transport links, motorway, trains etc. Great access to local shops, just a minute walk to the nearest convenience store. Not so good is the issues with parking on street, and road width being the bear minimum for 2 cars. Bin collections are also excellent. The estate is also opposite an industrial space, with noisy staff at shift change 11pm. And cars speed past the estate.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Ground quality is terrible, unable to use garden without significant investment of time and money. Squeaking everywhere in the house. No soundproofing and very thin walls.

What is the best feature of your home:

Building design and space. Great to have more space to store and manage a family without falling over each other. Bathroom, downstairs toilet, and an ensuite, is a life saver!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is a train station a 5 minute drive away and easy access to the motorway.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The developers don't install an alarm system.

What is the best feature of your home:

The garden is very large and over two tiers, making good use of limited space.

I love my home here at lea grange the area and the people are a delight and I love the facilities around the estate such as the co op and the costcutter but I do wish that they would fix the pond

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Before I moved in I wish I had known that there was only one way in and out of the estate

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my house is the toilets because I’ve never had this many facilities

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Location of our development is perfect in terms of transport links, accessibility to the motorways and town centre. It's also close to schools and convenience shops. The only downside is that the development is located opposite an industrial business park which isn't the most ascetically pleasing.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Nothing really that stands out, we are very happy with our home and wouldn't change anything.

What is the best feature of your home:

Our house is very well laid out and is spacious. The way it was designed makes sure we manage to use the space in the most efficient way.
